[. . . ] Current Status This screen provides information on CPU/memory frequencies/parameters. `` Advanced Frequency Settings && BCLK Clock Control && Processor Graphics Clock && CPU NB Clock Divisor Allows you to manually set the CPU base clock in 1 MHz increments. (Default: Auto) Important: It is highly recommended that the CPU frequency be set in accordance with the CPU specifications. Allows you to set the CPU North Bridge frequency divisor. && CPU NB Clock Frequency The first value is the normal operating CPU North Bridge frequency of the CPU being used; The second value is CPU North Bridge frequency that is automatically adjusted according to the CPU NB Clock Divisor settings. - 17 - `` Advanced CPU Core Features && C6 Mode  Allows you to determine whether to let the CPU enter C6 mode in system halt state. When enabled, the CPU core frequency will be reduced during system halt state to decrease power consumption. (Default: Disabled) && AMD Cool&Quiet function && SVM Enabled   Lets the AMD Cool'n'Quiet driver dynamically adjust the CPU clock and VID to reduce heat output from your computer and its power consumption.  Virtualization enhanced by Virtualization Technology will allow a platform to run multiple operating systems and applications in independent partitions. With virtualization, one computer system can function as multiple virtual systems. (Default: Enabled) && C-state Pmin Allows you to determine whether to let the CPU enter C1 mode in system halt state. When enabled, the CPU core frequency and voltage will be reduced during system halt state to decrease power consumption. (Default: Auto) && System Memory Multiplier && Memory Frequency (MHz) Allows you to set the system memory multiplier. (Default: Auto) The first memory frequency value is the normal operating frequency of the memory being used; the second is the memory frequency that is automatically adjusted according to the System Memory Multiplier settings. `` Advanced Memory Settings && System Memory Multiplier, Memory Frequency(MHz) && DRAM Timing Selectable The settings above are synchronous to those under the same items on the Advanced Frequency Settings menu. Quick and Expert allows the Channel Interleaving, Rank Interleaving, and memory timing settings below to be configurable. Enabled allows the system to simultaneously access different channels of the memory to increase memory performance and stability. Enabled allows the system to simultaneously access different ranks of the memory to increase memory performance and stability. Auto  BIOS will automatically enable or disable the onboard graphics depending on the  The graphics card being installed. (Default) Force   Always activates the onboard graphics, whether or not a PCI Express card is installed. && Channel Interleaving && Rank Interleaving && Integrated Graphics - 18 - && UMA Frame Buffer Size This item is configurable only when Integrated Graphics is set to Force. Frame buffer size is the total amount of system memory allocated solely for the onboard graphics controller. Options are: Auto (default), 32M, 64M, 128M, 256M, 512M, 1G, 2G. `` Channel A/B Timing Settings This sub-menu provides memory timing settings for each channel of memory. The respective timing setting screens are configurable only when DRAM Timing Selectable is set to Quick or Expert. Note: Your system may become unstable or fail to boot after you make changes on the memory timings. If this occurs, please reset the board to default values by loading optimized defaults or clearing the CMOS values. `` Advanced Voltage Settings Allows you to set memory voltage. The default is Auto. `` PC Health Status && Reset Case Open Status && Case Open Disabled  Keeps or clears the record of previous chassis intrusion status. [. . . ] You can select Select File in HDD/USB/FDD to input the profile previously created from your storage device or load the profile automatically created by the BIOS, such as reverting the BIOS settings to the last settings that worked properly (last known good record). && Load Optimized Defaults && Boot Override && Save Profiles && Load Profiles - 26 - Chapter 3 Drivers Installation •• Before installing the drivers, first install the operating system. •• After installing the operating system, insert the motherboard driver disk into your optical drive. The driver Autorun screen is automatically displayed which looks like that shown in the screen shot below. (If the driver Autorun screen does not appear automatically, go to My Computer, double-click the optical drive and execute the Run. exe program. ) After inserting the driver disk, "Xpress Install" will automatically scan your system and then list all the drivers that are recommended to install.
